2 months agoAt 27 years old I’m finally learning to love my body.
⠀
I’ve always struggled with trying not to gain too much weight which has resulted in my weight fluctuating throughout my entire life.
⠀
I was overweight in middle school then stopped eating and dropped 15 pounds in two weeks causing my parents to be concerned.
⠀
I went from a size 7 to a size 0 instantly then figured out how to get back to healthier 3.
⠀
From there it’s continued to go back and forth. Only feeling good about myself when I was “the perfect size 3”.
⠀
The reality is that I love food. And as a Latina, carbs are a part of my diet. I eat balanced meals on a daily basis and also let myself enjoy my tortillas. I eat veggies daily and also enjoy sweets and treats.
⠀
I’ve learned to embrace my body whether bigger or smaller and to appreciate its “imperfections” as my own unique perfections.
⠀
I’ve learned not to let my beauty be dictated by a number but to allow myself to love me however that may be.
⠀
I’ve learned to look at my body in a mirror before I shower and to be happy with what I see.
⠀
My body will never look like anybody else’s and neither will yours. I am uniquely and beautifully me and you are uniquely and beautifully you.
⠀
Love yourself just the way that you are because you are perfect and perfect is what you will always be.

2 months agogive me just one night to meet you underneath the moonlight.

2 months agoI change my stance
.
I don't ask for money.
.
I do, of course, receive payments.
.
Of course I do!
.
Money is such a dirty topic in the spiritual realm, but the basic is:
.
I wouldn't be here helping anyone if I wasn't compensated fairly.
.
I dont ask for money - asking is disempowering. .
I require financial compensation as a fair trade.
.
This is mutually agreed upon by both parties.
.
And that's how it is in every field, no matter what you do for work.
.
You get paid for it.
.
Getting paid to help others is just of course! Of course! you get paid to help others !
.
Every field does!
.
Of course! if you love helping people, then get paid to help people doing what you love.
.
Getting paid to help people allows you to help MORE people. The more money you have, the more resources you have to increase your impact. .
You're serving no one if you are only helping people once in a while. .
If you're getting paid to help more people, then of course! you can help more people!
.
Because money is just a resource. Money allows us more resources, to help more people.
.
Money is not shameful. Or negative. Or bad. Or evil.
.
People are shameful, negative, bad, and evil. Money is neutral.
.
So if you're a good person, you will use your resources for good.
.
Why would we shame spiritual people for wanting more money?
.
Its the spiritual people who should have the most money.
.
Our world wouldnt be in the disarray it is today if the money was kept in the hands of good people.

2 months ago@me // because when life gets crazy it all gets crazy at once, doesn’t it? 😅 A few things I do when I just need to chill: Take bubble baths on my lunch breaks 🌟 Turn on podcasts while I do mundane work ( @garyvee for motivation + @jvn to lighten-up the mood have been two faves lately) 🌟 Put my phone on airplane mode 🌟 Make a gratitude list 🌟 Cuddle Stabes 🌟 Have a glass of red wine 🌟 Turn on a funny TV show (The Office is on all of the time lately...again) 🌟 Read a chapter of a juicy fiction book 🌟 Call a girlfriend 🌟 Have a hot cup of my @NaturalVitalityOfficial Calm Water 💕 Tell me, loves: What do you do when you need to chill a bit (or a lot?) 💭 | Graphic: @workparty

2 months agoI will miss these people most of all. ❤️ Thank you for making me feel so special today. I love each of you more than I could possibly put into words.

2 months agoTrue or False? “If you have work to do on the weekend, you’ll have to sacrifice self-care to get it done.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For a long time that statement was true for me. But what I quickly realized was that when I neglected myself… my productivity would go to 💩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I can confidently say FALSE.😌 Sure, I haven’t been posting to IG as often and my to-do list seems never-ending, but even when I was over-working myself, that to-do list stayed steadily growing... The only difference is now I’m happier.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I take guilt-free breaks and if I work weekends, I make sure to schedule in at lease one day off during the week. (Mondays are my favourite day to take off 🙃)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So for anyone who is currently struggling to make time for themselves on the weekend (or in general), here are ✨7 simple things that take under an hour each✨and have really helped me RESET + feel good through even the busiest of times:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Sleep 8 hours, even if this means starting my day a bit later💤
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Eat a delicious and nourishing food (if you need help in this category talk to my sis @synergy_nutrition)🥗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Look outside/get outside - When working long hours on the computer it’s SO important to give your eyes a break and look around👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. One hour of hot yoga or exercise🧘🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Bubble bath & mud mask - thank you @graceandstella😘🛀🍷(glass of wine optional lol)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Cuddles with pets😸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Social breaks (even if it’s just grabbing coffee and going for a short walk with a friend)👭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2 months agoWhat if you decide that your birthday will be a public holiday too !? :)
.
Except if you've born already the same day that the Queen in the right country, did you already dream of having this special day free from any obligations??
.
how awesome will it be to decide if yes or not you gonna go working for someone else than yourself. huhuhu!!! .
What's the deal with being your OWN boss? Imagine the most amazing part of it: you could work on your things or not and that's still feeling like holiday anyway, because YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH YOUR BUSINESS!! .
Today and only today! I decide to serve the world and offer my knowledge about being independent abroad for free!! .
Take advantage of it and let's talk about your dream being autonomous from anyplaces of the world. Your happiness matters. .
You've got the right of choosing what kind of life you want for yourself, no matter what!
.
Drop me a text today ! And I answer, we have a chat :D let explore the possibilities and create a new mindset that will make you feel like you can achieve anything :+)
.
Do you wonder how ordinary people like you and I got the guts on going for no matter what ! Are they crazy? What if you get the power to do it too?? .
We work together on mindset, on overcoming blocks, on creating opportunities, on building a business plan that reflects with YOU, and using business tools you need to keep it real! All that!! For a free sample :-)
.
Can't wait listen to your dreamlife !!! :-)

2 months agoThis week at The Assembly Hall we are busy doing some planning for the second half of the year. Is there a workshop that you would love to see us host? Let us know in the comments below or send us a DM.

2 months agoSuper excited to announce that Peppermint Studio's customised logo shop is live!
🎉
The shop features a selection of beautiful and unique logo designs which we'll customise for your brand or business for an extremely affordable price.
🥂
Simply provide your business name and details when purchasing, and we customise the logo for you. No need to download Photoshop or fiddle around with Canva - it's all taken care of on our end.
👍
We want our logo designs to be unique to the brands that buy them, which is why they've been created as one-of-a-kind designs and won't be re-sold. This means you’d best be quick - once a design has been purchased, it will be removed from the store and will no longer be available!
😱
Pictured here is the Artisan logo, which is looking for a brand new home. This fashionable logo makes a chic statement with it’s minimalist, understated design and elegant use of typography - it would be perfect for a fashion blog, or a premium product line.
👌
I've had so much fun creating these logo designs and can't wait to release more goodness in the coming weeks! To check out the shop, click the link in our bio or head to peppermintstudio.design/shop
